Buggy Lifter
« on: March 05, 2009, 01:29:46 AM »


I did this as an exercise in learning solidworks.
Dual steering for maneuvering in tight spaces in you shed.
12v lifting. easy ;)
Could easily lift at different rates allowing you to tilt the buggy at an angle?
The open ends of the lifting platform are so one can attach clamps or fittings to "hold" the buggy.
Height: 210mm folded, 600mm+ open


All comments welcome! (esp constructive criticism)

Very nice!  Now I know where you have been the last two weeks!  ;D


Looks very nicely designed.  My only question would be how much power will the screws have to exert to get the lift started.  When they have the least advantage.

I have used electric window motors to drive mechanisms.  They are cheap, 12 volts, have built in overcurrent protection, and you can have a gear laser cut to run off of it.  You could have it drive the screw, or directly drive an arm.  However this would not be as compact.

How high does the design lift?  You have to overcome the droop in the suspension to be able to roll it, but I didn't know if you were going high enough to make maintenance easier.

Very little, they only have to move the lifter. Starts at 200mm and my buggy floor is 230mm at ride height.

I guess that with out a frame of reference it just looked small. 2X 750 Kg should do the trick ,huh. 8)

I think the intention was to cannibalize the ebay jacks.  Not use them as is.
